It is quite natural for brands to produce on common platforms. In addition, some brands make agreements so as not to reduce each other’s market shares and market the same cars under different names. The same marketing method is seen in the triangle of Renault, Dacia and Nissan. Here is Nissan Duster, the twin brother of Renault Duster, and its details…
Dacia Duster is named Nissan Duster with the Nissan logo!
Renault Group continues to stay on the agenda with various growth and strategy steps. In this context, the brand is also turning to electric cars and is making breakthroughs with its other models. As you know, the Dacia brand has a very strong player in its hands. Duster.
This powerful model is breaking sales records in many regions, thanks to its affordability and ability to meet all user expectations. In addition, Renault Group focused on the SUV expansion in its model family and announced that it would offer the Duster model for sale in Turkey as Renault Duster.
The model, whose production was announced to be shifted to Turkey in the past months, will be offered for sale as Renault Duster with its renewed face. We saw the Duster model with Renault logos in different markets such as Russia. The same rule is now valid in Türkiye. Along with this, the Nissan Duster model also emerged. According to preliminary information, Renault Group is preparing the new Duster model for the Indian market.
The model that will be sold in the Indian region under the Nissan brand is actually the version of the Duster model with very minor changes. With the new model to be introduced in 2025, the Duster model will also be available in the Indian market. Especially in underdeveloped markets such as India, sometimes making brand and minor design changes can be very useful.
Because, unlike Europe, these markets are not areas where brands can fully dominate. For this reason, it is a very logical decision to choose to sell with brands such as Nissan, which have been in the region for a long time and design cars specifically for these markets.
